ABC13 is analyzing body camera footage that shows an HPD officer shooting and killing a man who complained about a graduation party's loud noise.
A body camera video released by the Houston Police Department shows the moments an officer fatally shoots a man complaining about loud noise.An intense video released by the Houston Police Department shows the moments before Michael Hayes was shot and killed.
We brought the video to a police consultant who has analyzed videos like this for us before. He said he didn't see police misconduct, just a tragic unfolding of events. Hayes' family wanted to know why a gun was used and not a Taser. You can hear the officer who pulled the trigger telling his partner to get a Taser.
"You're not going to holster your weapon when you got a guy with two knives standing 10 feet from you," Griffith said."A Taser was never designed, nor should they ever be used to combat deadly force. And we should never expect or enforce our police officers to put themselves in that kind of disadvantage," Stephens said."Grab your Taser!" Novotny shouted.
